I guess I will see you on the 8th with no flowers and perhaps a Giants t-shirt… Glad to finally hear of the arrangements.
Jack Crabtree
Lee and family,
We are sad to read of Martin’s passing to Heaven but also filled with hope because of the everlasting life Jesus gives to Martin. I’m sure this must be a hard time for you.
We thank you and Martin for the generous love you showed to us in so many ways during your years here on Long Island. You were a blessing to us and many others.
May our loving Heavenly Father give you comfort and peace.
With love,
Jack and Becky Crabtree

Dear Lenora,
I was shocked to hear about Martin…and of you living in Lancaster. I haven’t kept up well with the changes since I left Jamesport.
My thoughts and prayers are with you are this very difficult time.
